enormous importance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to sum-

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the theory
of evolution was advanced extensively in the
nineteenth century. The most important devel-

opment that made it the top topic of the world
of science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of
Species, published in 1859. In this book, he op-
posed, in his own eyes, the fact that Allah cre-
ated different living species on Earth separately,
for he erroneously claimed that all living beings
had a common ancestor and had diversified
over time through small changes. Darwin's the-
ory was not based on any concrete scientific

finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assump-
tion." Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book ti-
tled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical
questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries,
which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his
expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these diffi-
culties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed
under three basic topics:

1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
